This was our largest event with around 50-60 kids, and about 30 parents present. I agree with a previous statement that I was expeting some more unique animals. Also, Larry the animal wragler had trouble with crowd control, but that could be bacause we had a HUGE number of people there. I had to setp in a few times and calm everyone down... including parents. I'm torn on this event because I did get good feedback, but personall was not very impressed. -- Vassar "Animals around the world was on the dull side. Expected to see some really different animals, not the typical pet store stuff. The narration was bordering on boring" -- Reese It was a great program!
